  • Party of 5

    YHC was wondering how many PAX would be a Satan’s hill considering the Murph was happening on the other side of SOJ. YHC had singed the Q sheet to keep SH open surely not to avoid the Murph. With 4 PAX eagerly awaiting the beatdown we began.

    COP- various warm up exercises performed .

    Thang- station time. runner as timer. 4 different exercises

    including using some resistance bands and jump rope. completed 5 rounds with Mary to round out time.

    YHC took us out in prayer.

  • All in NM

    An even 5 rolled into Satan’s hill for a beautiful 72 degree day, unfortunately there was a -50 degree windchill. At the bottom of the hour we were off.

    We warmed up.
